A book which seems part memoir, part advice and part theory written from the perspective of a paediatrician and delving into his experience in helping families deal with the death of a child. As a paediatric nurse for many years, I found this book quite interesting however I felt as though the author was a little confused about the purpose of the book and therefore what the book itself was meant to be. Also, while I understand the necessity for these types of books to be factual in their approach, even considering the subject matter, I felt it came across as a little cold and unfeeling. Perhaps this is overly critical however this is the overall sense it left with me. I'm unsure that this book would be a good fit for many lay people - having said that, I am left unsure of the target audience.

Thank you to NetGalley and Troubador Publishing Ltd for the opportunity to read and review this book.

This is quite an interesting read - very much from the authors point of view. It is a little rambling and could have been structured a bit more. It seems a little confused if it’s an anecdote or a guide. If the latter it would have been good to have some additional expertise to fill in the gaps. Thanks to NetGalley for the early copy.

Whilst I certainly found a few interesting bits in this book, I found it difficult to read. It was very repetitive and it jumped from topic to topic in a way that didn't feel coherent to me. I also thought that it would be more about individual experiences rather than repeated musings on the same points
